The temporary nature of projects indicates that a project has a definite beginning and end.” A project is, at its basic level: Getting things done through people. Your PM/people skills will be put to the test(s) multiple times throughout your career. To quote Dr. Harold Kerzner, “Being a Project Manager is not for the faint of heart.”
